All of the popular interpreted languages we use now were dog slow when they originally came out and we still had to deal with many the quirks of low level languages back then but here we are. If you don't like it just don't use it

Exactly. If someone else gets wrongly convicted for the crime then the actual perpetrator now has no fear of ever being prosecuted for what they did. The fear of being caught for a past criminal act is a deterrence to committing more crimin

It's all fun and games until you're the one in prison and sometimes executed for a crime you didn't commit. Why do I doubt the author would just accept their fate for the greater good of society if it was them wrongly convict

There's a key difference though. In Linux and other UNIX inspired OS's /etc is only accessible by root but the Windows registry holds config data for users too. Any userspace program in Windows could potentially bork any regi

That's an oddly specific response to something that was never said. My point and the overall arch of what I think Kubrick was implying in EWS is that these people exist and people in positions of power we would otherwise hold in high s

OP here. Yes, the article itself it somewhat vague but I found the implications relevant and thought others would also. We tend to view and focus on the use of cryptographic privacy tech like VPN's as a way to escape or bypass a more r

Minus someone or in this case everyone looking over your shoulder the entire time while doing something that's pretty much never been done before. I don't care where you work, this is impressive.

To be fair, most products and practices in the 1950's would be considered wildly dangerous by today's standards. Hell, we were still using leaded gasoline (gasoline with tetraethyllead additive) up until the 90's. Think abou
